Comments on: Dining at La Ratatouille… aka Panino Cafe http://feistyfoodie.com/2009/06/22/dining-at-la-ratatouille-aka-panino-cafe/ Opinionated Food Critic Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:23:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sam http://feistyfoodie.com/2009/06/22/dining-at-la-ratatouille-aka-panino-cafe/comment-page-1/#comment-3693 Sam Sun, 17 Jan 2010 00:18:58 +0000 http://feistyfoodie.com/ffoodie/2009/06/22/dining-at-la-ratatouille-aka-panino-cafe/#comment-3693 I somehow landed on this page while trying to find a place on Long Island to eat tonight and felt compelled to comment. I used to work at Panino in 2007 and can tell you that this does not surprise me at all. The place was filthy and full of bugs. I once had a customer find a cockroach in her sandwich. Though I don't recall seeing any mice or rats there, I do remember some of my coworkers telling me that they had seen them there. The owners did not care at all about the condition of the restaurant and by the time I left, it had gotten so bad that there were flies all over the dining room. I noticed recently that they had changed the name. I don't know if that means anything but I vow to never step foot in that place again.

I've been in the mall and sometimes lingered with a serious consideration towards stopping in at that cafe. Now I'll definitely know better. How dare they turn a blind eye when they have a vermin issue?! That's beyond ridonkulousness. Many thanks for the heads up. Oh gross!

Not all of it, but definitely by the scene near the end where the entire kitchen is being manned by rats. They tried hard to make it cute, but I couldn't get past my squeamishness, nope.<br /><br />Same with the "cute" cockroaches and other vermin in that Cinderella movie Enchanted.

That is just yucky.<br /><br />I don't know if I would've said anything, but I can guarantee that I would've stopped eating and decided whether I was going to pay the bill. ick.
